I recieve the error upon opening a saved project file that "An error has occured during initialization. The attachment file could not be opened." Any suggestions?

Sounds like there is a dynamic reference from your project file to another (probably Microsoft type) file. When you try to open the project, it tries to open the other file too, and cannot find it. This means you either moved the project file fromone directory to another, moved the referenced file(s), or deleted the references file(s).
Move the project file back to where it originally was, or restore your disk from back up on the day it last worked.

Another possibility is that the referenced file is locked by another application. Close all your applications except MS Project.

Best wishes!
